    I was looking at Expansys and there is a huge price difference between the different coloured T610's.F'in HUGE.
    The green one is £240, the blue one is £269 and the red one is £293 , from what I can see there is absolutely no difference between them apart from the colour of the phone, WTF?.

    Can anyone tell me why there are these price differences? Am I missing something?
    I really want that sexy blue one but I'm not gonna pay that much more for a colour.

    TBH the sexy blue one is not as sexy as it looks on their site .
    It is quite a bit darker , If I were you I'd go for the Slinky Silver .

    You shouldn't have to pay for a different colour, only some dodgy sites do that. go to www.mobilefun.co.uk As far as I remember they charge you the same price for all colours.

    And you can pick up the bluetooth car aswell...

    basically just supply and demand - the aluminum one came out first and is the default on all the operator branded ones i've seen - so it the most common - some sites will charge a premium for a less common version as some people will pay to be more "exclusive"

    out of the three i definatley liked the aluminum the best - didn't like the blue or the red

    re the car - it's fun (not sure how long the novelty would last) but a crazy price a the mo! - it's tiny in case anyone thought that it is going to rip around in/outside driving over obstcles etc... it would have a hard time getting from the other side of my desk at the moment :D

    I love that car I'll have to get that it is a bit steep for something that size though.
